Chapter 907: Suzaku is dead

Song Jiang and his companions were all embarrassed after hearing this. They didn't know how to answer Xiaomaimai's question. Moreover, they were also worried that after answering this question, there might be more questions that they couldn't answer...

Fortunately, Zhao Lang was a smart man. He quickly picked up his daughter and said, "Mai Mai, be good. The uncles are here to do something important. Only if you succeed in this important matter, you will have the opportunity to eat more delicious food in the future. So, Mai Mai, don't cause trouble for the uncles now, understand?"

Although Xiao Mai Mai didn't quite understand, when she heard that there would be more delicious food, she nodded happily and said, "Don't worry... Mai Mai will be good and will never cause trouble for uncle and brothers."

  Speaking of important things, Song Jiang glanced at the time and found that Meng Zhe had been in there for a while. How come there was no movement at all? Can he be sealed or not? Can he come out and say something? !

Finally, Song Jiang couldn't wait any longer, so he turned to Gu Hao and Deng Kai and said, "You guys wait here first... I'll go to the front and take a look."

Deng Kai pouted when he heard it and said, "You go? Can you do it? Even Gu Hao can't get through."

Song Jiang laughed and said, "Go and have a look. If you can't get through, come back... What if you can get through?"

Deng Kai watched Song Jiang's back gradually walk into the darkness, and couldn't help but say worriedly, "Why do I feel that Song Jiang's back looks so unlucky? Besides, what's the difference between him and you and me? You can't even get in, let alone an ordinary human like him who is not even good enough to fight."

Gu Hao, who was standing by, sighed and said, "Maybe Song Jiang is really different from you and me."

  ========

Song Jiang thought that he would be able to see the entrance to the passage that Gu Hao mentioned if he walked forward for a distance. However, he walked forward for several hundred meters with a flashlight and did not see anything. There seemed to be nothing around him except darkness... If Song Jiang had not firmly believed that Meng Zhe was just ahead, he would not have had the courage to walk in the dark for such a long time.

But even so, Song Jiang became more and more nervous, so he shouted at the top of his voice, "Meng Zhe!" He knew that he might not get a response, but it would be good to give himself courage...

Unexpectedly, as he was walking, Song Jiang suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing, which made him almost unable to stand. Just as he was wondering where such a strong wind came from in this cave, he suddenly saw Meng Zhe not far away, standing with his back to him in front of a black boulder more than ten meters high.

Meng Zhe stood motionless in front of the boulder. Under normal circumstances, if there was a slight movement behind him... he would have known that it was Song Jiang coming. But at this moment, he was indifferent to Song Jiang's appearance.

"Meng Zhe?" Song Jiang called out tentatively.

At this time, Meng Zhe moved slightly, and then slowly turned around. Seeing that he finally responded, Song Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Can you do it? If you really can't seal it, let's go back and think of other ways. It's not a good idea to stay here all the time. I..."

As a result, Song Jiang was suddenly stunned in the middle of his words, because he saw Meng Zhe's face was full of tears when he slowly turned around. For a moment, he had the illusion that Meng Zhe was also possessed by an evil spirit!

"You... cried?" Song Jiang seemed to have seen the most horrific thing in the world. In his impression, Meng Zhe was a man who would never cry, but now he was in tears in front of him.

Meng Zhe seemed to come back to his senses at this time. He immediately turned around and wiped away the tears on his face, then said in a cold voice, "You are wrong, that is sweat..."

Song Jiang was still immersed in the shock just now. Hearing what Meng Zhe said, he could only laugh dryly, "If you say it is sweat, then it is sweat. But then again, what is this big black stone about?" Unexpectedly, when Song Jiang said this, Meng Zhe seemed to suddenly think of something, frowned and asked, "How did you get in?! This is already the territory of the underworld!"

"Ah! It can't be? Didn't you say that you wanted to seal the passage? How could he run in first? Besides, didn't Gu Hao say that there was a barrier in front of the passage, and neither humans nor ghosts could pass through?!" Song Jiang asked in surprise.

After hearing this, Meng Zhe looked at Song Jiang, then turned around to look at the black boulder, then sighed deeply, and for a moment he didn't seem to know what to say. He understood that it was because Song Jiang had eaten the Black Tortoise Relics, which gave him the aura of a god, coupled with the blessing of the Azure Dragon Spirit...that's why he could enter and exit the underworld like himself, as if there was no one there.

Seeing that Meng Zhe didn't say anything, Song Jiang wanted to walk closer to take a closer look at the big rock, but Meng Zhe suddenly yelled at him, "Stand still! Don't come any closer!!"

Song Jiang was a little confused. "What happened? Meng Zhe, you look a little scary."

Of course Meng Zhe couldn't tell Song Jiang that the reason he wasn't allowed to get close was because the remaining soul of Xuanwu was sealed in this huge stone, and he also carried the soul of Qinglong in his body. Once the two were aware of each other's existence, they would surely turn the underworld upside down...

"Do you still remember that you have eaten Xuanwu's relics?" Meng Zhe said after pondering for a moment.

"I remember..." Song Jiang replied.

Meng Zhe sighed and said, "The last trace of Xuanwu's soul is sealed in this black boulder. If you get close to it, it might cause abnormal movement. To be on the safe side, you'd better stand farther away."

Song Jiang naturally believed Meng Zhe's words, so he quickly stepped back a few steps and said, "Why didn't you say earlier... Is this distance safe?"

Meng Zhe nodded after hearing this, then turned around and looked at the black boulder. The memories of those years came flooding back to him. He really missed the days when he and his brothers fought side by side. At that time, they would never have thought that the final outcome of the Four Saints would be so tragic...

"Suzaku is dead..." Meng Zhe suddenly said something out of the blue.

Song Jiang was stunned and said, "Suzaku... is he one of the four saints you have been looking for? But didn't you say he just disappeared? How come you are suddenly sure that he is dead now?"

After hearing this, Meng Zhe gently placed his hand on the huge black stone and said with a somewhat sad expression, "I felt it... He burned his own soul to protect the last trace of Xuanwu's soul for a thousand years, but in the end his soul still burned out. Suzaku, one of the Four Saints, has completely dissipated, and nothing is left."

Although Song Jiang didn't know the inside story, he could see that Meng Zhe was in a very low mood at the moment, so he comforted him, "What if he, like Qinglong and Xuanwu, has left his soul somewhere?"

Meng Zhe shook his head and said in a deep voice, "This is no longer possible... Gods can die too."
